subfolder installation

I have installed premod in a subfolder named foro, where I can put the .htaccess?

When I put the .htaccess in the "foro" folder the result is obvious, a 404 error with all new url's due the "foro" prefix in the rules.
When I put the .htaccess in the root folder the result is a blank page with all new url's.

# Lines That should already be in your .htacess
<Files "config.php">
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from All
</Files>
<Files "common.php">
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from All
</Files>

You can put the .htaccess in the foro/ dir, but you need to generate one meant for it.

To do so, hit the more option option in the .htaccess generator, and then, select alternate location, and voilà.

Otherwise you need to put the .htaccess in the domain root (making sure you do not have one in the foro/ dir).
The white page could mean several things.

If it does not work after what I told you, try to uncomment (meaning, delete the # at the beginning of the line) :
